Dani: Aww, thanks for the sweet comment girly!! As for idea brewing in my head... to be honest, there's too many ideas that's brewing. There's so many ways I can approach the next chapter and my mind just won't hurry the hell up and settle on one that'll work best for the story, lol. I clearly visualize how the chapter will go, and if I feel it won't work, I'll normally scratch that idea altogether or try to enhance it somehow. Before my computer crashed, I had a whole freaking chapter typed up and ready to be posted, but thanks to procrastinatio n and the suckiness of my computer, I lost it. :( Lol. But maybe it was a sign for me to approach the chapter in a different way. I actually have the story pulled up right now and I'm trying to sort through all the ideas that's floating around in my mind, lol.

Shaniqua: Haha, well you can't really bug me for anything because I don't think this genre is your liking... I think. LOL.

Mel: Haha. You were one of my first reviewers when I came onto AC (with Incomplete and all that jazz) and you leave some of the best reviews. I'll have to admit, I lost a lot of readers along the way due to my inability to regularly update my stories and post up a bunch of stories that are incomplete. :( Lol. But this story seems to be in demand which makes me even determined to update and finish this story!! Thanks hun!! ;D

Ash: *sits in a meditating stance* OOOOHHHMMM... I am one with my inner child... I think. Lol. Um... what made me decide to write the prologue the way I did... hmm... I believe I was in writing class when I first started this story or something, and I had noticed that I had this pattern of jumping right into a story when I wrote it, there was no prologue, no back story, no nothing. My mind's always been twisted so I thought it would have been a cool approach to write a little back story, give a little insight into the history of "Satan's Playground". Where I was born and raised, there were a lot of ghost stories that circulated around, stories that dated back to when my parents were children or whatever, and I just remember them telling us those stories and I'd always paint this mental picture in my head whenever they told us their scary experiences. Anywho... I decided the back story to be like that, in a sense where I tell one of the many stories that deals with Satan's Playground, and my intent was to just change up my writing style a bit and I've come to realize that it kind of worked best for the story. I hope I made sense with answering this question, lol.

Mare: Haha, good question! Um... the whole possessing of Kevin thing was totally not me. I mean, I kinda had an idea to possess one of the boys, and the whole thought behind that kind of came from Amityville (sp?) Horror. As for how Kevin was selected to be possessed, that was totally George's idea, I think he liked the idea of possessing the "father figure" of the bunch. I'm speaking on behalf of the character, but I think he wanted to manifest in the one that's the strongest of them all, he knows that Kevin is the protector of the group and normally whatever Kevin says, goes, but with the way he's controlling Kevin is all wrong. Kevin is completely bipolar in this story, and the guys have caught on to that and know that something's wrong, so it'll be hard for George to do much of what he's intending to do. As for if I had changed the direction of this story, I have and honestly it keeps changing, which I feel is kind of bad, lmao. My mind is a complete mess with all my stories, and I'm always and forever changing something, lol. People are wondering if any of the other guys are going to be possessed, and all I can say is who knows... my mind is always and forever changing the story somehow, and I think it's because I'm abusing the fact that there's no set idea to how the story will exactly go. I need to better organize myself when it comes to writing, lmao.

Teri: Thank you sooo much hun!!  :-* Ya know, some things aren't everybody's cup of tea, but if you find the time to read it I hope you enjoy it. :)

Kelly: Hehe, loved your review btw!! ;D As you continue to read, ignore all the mistakes. ;) Lol.

Dee: Thank you!! ;D

I'm having fun asking questions. I should have started doing this before...ya know...to help ya out...LoL.

Another question:

If you could change one thing about your story so far, what would it be and why? Other then the first chapter, since we already covered the fact that you say you don't like how you wrote the first chapter. LoL.

rebellious_one:
One thing I could change about the story? Hmm... the fact that the characters don't really seem consistent. I think it's kind of important when you go into a story to have a set idea as to who your characters are; who they are in the beginning of the story and how whatever happens affect and changes them. Someone pointed out that they were a bit shocked to see that AJ was all "gung-ho" and heroic when he normally comes across as the type of guy that's like "Um... screw this." Lol. At the time, in my young naive mind I wanted to shine the light on AJ and have him be the hero, but I didn't describe how he became the guy to take on everything and try to be the hero. My thought was just like "Hmm... well, wanted to change AJ up a bit and not make him so predictable" or whatever. But I really don't like how my characters seem inconsistent.

I love answering questions. :D Thanks Ash!!
